[Husker] Restaurants (fwd)

[Eric Erlandson]

For God's sake, don't forget Lee's, the oldest restaurant in Lincoln, at 
Van Dorn and Coddington.  While the underseasoned chicken is a little 
overrated, the ambience is wonderful.  It's like stepping back into 1957. 
When you're through, cross the intersection and have a soft-serve.  That 
area is growing fast, and these places won't always be there.
